Hi Kelli,

Could it be a dough pin that leaves an imprint in the dough before
baking, kind of like stamping a hosti?
Could it be a rolling stamp to create a (repeating) print pattern on
fabric?

Two thoughts, two cents ...

Will you post the answer, if you find it?

Hello fellow listers.  I need your help.  We recently had a patron bring

in a wooden object, and we don't know what it is.  So far, we've been 
researching fraternal organizaiton seals, historic flags, etc. and
haven't 
come up with anything.  A description and pictures can be found at:  
http://www.nebraskahistory.org/archeo/whatisit.htm.  If you have any 
suggestions or ideas, please email me at [log in to unmask]  
Thanks in advance!

Kelli
